Summer is a peak construction season for Wisconsin. During this time, orange barrels, cement trucks, yellow vests and hardhats, tattooed muscled arms, and cranes are common. Not so in India. Here, scaffolding is made from bamboo or narrow rickety poles. Construction crews consist of men wearing lungis and sari-clad women - both of which typically are barefoot, or perhaps wearing flip flops. The only "hat" worn is a wrap of cloth, designed to balance loads of gravel/cement and to soak up some of the incessant sweat.
